Abstract

Gestational choriocarcinoma of the fallopian tube is very rare phenomenon which may originate in any form of pregnancy; about 100 cases have been collected from the world lit-erature to date. A patient, who had been diagnosed as primary choriocarcinoma of the fall-opian tube arising in a tubal ectopic pregnancy of 16weeks` gestation, was treated with the initial extirpated operation as total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy follo-wing chemotherapy. Primary tubal choriocarcinoma is considered worthwhile in view of the paucity of its cases. We recently experienced a case of primary tubal choriocarcinoma, and report with a brief review of literatures.
